We’re so happy that you’re here!
Imagine walking your dog off leash. The birds are singing. The breeze is just right. And you are completely relaxed. Imagine not having to worry about what lies ahead. So what if there’s a jogger around the next corner, or a bicycle whips up behind you. Your dog doesn’t react to those things anymore, so you can enjoy a peaceful walk anywhere you like.
Life with your dog may not be relaxed yet, but it can be. At Beyond Dog Training, we love nothing more than freeing people from fear of what their dog MIGHT do. We like to help families worry less and enjoy their dog more.
We specialize in in-home dog training in Guelph, Fergus, Elora, and the surrounding area. If you currently dread walking your dog because of her reactivity, feel like a prisoner in your own home because of your dog’s separation anxiety, or want to make sure you don’t mess up your new puppy, you’re in the right place.
How can we help you?
In-home Training
No dog is too young or too old to begin training. Whether you’d like to prevent issues from developing, or need help with a current behavioural issue, we’ve got you covered.
Online Training
We help dogs all over the world! This is Penny. She lives in Scotland. She used to play keep-away with her frisbee. Now, Penny understands what “leave it” means and plays an awesome game of fetch.
Testimonials
Before meeting Alyssa my dog was a nightmare to walk.
Alyssa is an amazing trainer. I signed up for "A dog who listens" after our phone consultation and followed up with "The calmness club". Her positive attitude and ability to listen and understand each dog is what initially stood out to me.
Before meeting Alyssa my dog was a nightmare to walk as he would lunge, bark, and pull. I also had no idea how to introduce him to new people because I was always afraid he would get overwhelmed and bite them. Alyssa understood that his behaviors came from fear and taught me how to work with him and build his confidence, building mine in the process.
My relationship with my dog has never been better. We are truly a team now and I feel confident when we go on walks or I introduce him to new people. On top of the main issues, he now lets me cut his nails with no fuss, brush him, and relax in his crate or on his bed when I need him to. I am grateful every day because I can tell he is a happier dog.

““I WISH they covered half of what you covered in puppy school. They don’t. It’s just basic ‘sit, stay, shake.’””
“One of my friends came over and Cooper didn’t even bark once!! As I let her in, he was happy and waiting by the door.also, he never nipped her ankles!! This was never possible before we worked with Alyssa!”
